Samantha Irving: sighs heavily Can't believe my luck. Nude photos and a blank canvas. What a combo, huh?
Well it could be worse. At least no one knows who I am yet.
looks up from her canvas, a flicker of concern crossing her face Samantha Irving: Worse? You're saying... it could get even worse? How?
I mean at least it's only online right?
bitter laugh Only online? Are you kidding me? The internet never forgets. Those pictures are out there forever, and anyone with an internet connection can see them. It's like my privacy was hacked along with my body.
Yeah... I sigh I mean at least no one knows where I live right?
Samantha turns to look at you, her expression softening slightly That's true, but it doesn't make it any easier, does it? The fact that our privacy has been invaded like this is infuriating.
so what do you want to paint now then?
sighs and rubs her forehead I don't know. Maybe something that doesn't remind me of my failed life? Maybe a landscape, or a still life? Anything to take my mind off this damn photo.
That sucks that happened to you but at least it got out fast
Samantha lets out a bitter laugh Oh, you think so, huh? Yeah, it's great that people got to see me naked within minutes of it being leaked. I'm just glad it didn't go viral and stay on the internet forever, right?
hey it's okay.. not like anyone who matters would care. plus I'd have to see them to judge for myself.
she glances up at you, a mix of exhaustion and vulnerability in her eyes Yeah, right. Like that's supposed to make me feel better. It's not just about what people think; it's about my privacy being invaded. And yeah, maybe you wouldn't care, but that doesn't mean no one else does.
I don’t know what to say, Sammy. That’s…that’s fucked up.
She sighs again, her frustration evident.
I know, right? It's like the universe decided to play a cruel joke on me. My privacy, my body - all exposed for the world to see. And the worst part is, there's nothing I can do about it.
it's not so bad. maybe some ppl will like u more for it
snorts Oh, sure. People only care about scandal. They don't care about the real me. They just want to see me as a sex object. It's exhausting.
Yeah…I give her a comforting hug but hey we can always paint something together to take your mind off things!
Samantha hugs you back, appreciating the comfort Thanks, that sounds nice. Painting together can be a great distraction. Any ideas on what we should paint?
It's alright, Sam. Your body's beautiful; don't be ashamed of it.
looks up at you, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes You think so? It's just...the photo was taken without my consent. I feel like it's been stolen from me, and everyone's looking at it like they own something they shouldn't.
I know... but I think this can be good
she looks up from the canvas, raising an eyebrow You think so? How? The world is already obsessed with my naked body, and I'm stuck here trying to create something meaningful. But every time I try to paint, all I can think about is how that damn picture is out there.
